CountIF formula Help

Hi everyone and anyone!


I have this formula below but I need to add progress stage to it. What I thought would work is coming back with unparsable. Can anyone lend a hand?

=COUNTIFS({HR Go Live or Event Date}, >=TODAY(0), {HR Go Live or Event Date}, <=TODAY(90))

Formula I need to work

=COUNTIFS({HR Go Live or Event Date}, >=TODAY(0), {HR Go Live or Event Date}, <=TODAY(90),({HR Projects - Project Stage IP} "In Progress", "Waiting to start")


I'm sure it is a simple fix, I'm just not seeing it. Thanks for any help!

    It appears you have an extra parenthesis, a missing comma, and an extra condition in your statement.


    Try this instead:

    =COUNTIFS({HR Go Live or Event Date}, >=TODAY(0), {HR Go Live or Event Date}, <=TODAY(90), {HR Projects - Project Stage IP}, "In Progress")

    If you need to count where it's either In Progress or "Waiting to start" then add two statement together:

    =COUNTIFS({HR Go Live or Event Date}, >=TODAY(0), {HR Go Live or Event Date}, <=TODAY(90), {HR Projects - Project Stage IP}, "In Progress") + =COUNTIFS({HR Go Live or Event Date}, >=TODAY(0), {HR Go Live or Event Date}, <=TODAY(90), {HR Projects - Project Stage IP}, "Waiting to Start")

    I hope that helps.

    I can't get the OR statement to function for the second part of the formula. I get back unparsable.
